CO-CHAIRS’
VISION
5
A tourism master plan is a long-term
(10 - 20 year) strategic plan to develop the
tourism industry in a city, state or nation to drive
economic impact for the benefit of the
community.
Tourism, unlike other major industries, is highly
fragmented and consists of multiple independent
industries:
A tourism master plan unifies these disparate
industries by developing a singular vision to
improve all, as well as the city infrastructure, for
the benefit of tourists.

Tourists reciprocate by spending money which
becomes:
Revenue for local businesses
Wages for local residents
Tax revenue for local government
Reduction in tax burden on residents
The hospitality industry has a vested interest in
proactive collaboration with all the entities which shape
and impact, either positively or negatively, the personal
experience of each and every visitor.
A TMP provides a forum to curate the whole experience
of a visitor from arrival to departure.
However, of significant importance, improvements
identified in such a plan also benefit the local
community by conserving natural and cultural
resources for the enjoyment of the current residents as
well as future generations.
